A Mission District estimate that comes in far below the others is generally missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Budgeting a Mission District replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofer during a storm.
Insurance the project in Mission District turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Mission District claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Partial claims on a Mission District roof covering are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. San Francisco County is no different.
